  • Method and apparatus for laser splicing of optical fibers
    Patent number: 6414262
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for fusing a pair of optical fibers together using an intense beam of electromagnetic radiation directed against the aligned ends of the optical fibers. The intense beam is of a power sufficient to fuse the fibers together, and is applied for a time sufficient to effect joining of the fibers. Preferably, the beam is of a sufficiently high intensity to create a plasma which increases the amount of optimal power absorbed by the fiber ends.
